What's up at ChicagoParent.com

Welcome to ChicagoParent.com, where we work hard to bring you the latest Chicago-area news, tidbits and fun nuggets. Yes, fun nuggets. We're constantly making changes to the site - some big, some small - to make it your one-stop shop for the stories, advice and community connections you care about.

This week, you may have noticed a new set of navigation options at the top of the site. You haven't? Well, go ahead and take a look. Right up there under that good-lookin' skyline. We've replaced our old navigation bar with one we think will help you find what you're looking for faster. A quick look at the changes:

"Calendar?" That's so 2010. Try "Things to Do," where you'll find our weekend picks, not-to-miss events for the coming month, tips on freebies, and ideas to fill a rainy day, in addition to a link to our full calendar.

Under "blogs," we've made it easier than ever to see the names and faces behind our blogs. We'll feature a different blog each month and we hope you'll find at least one blogger that speaks to your interests and personality.
